WoW Uninstallation problems

Lorcan86 · 05-30-2009, 01:22 AM

Hey =]

I've been desperately trying to uninstall WoW on my computer, but it doesn't work at all.

When I go to my start menu there is no WoW folder there, same as when I go to My Computer. I have tried putting the disk in (WoW no expansion) and clicking uninstall but it doesn't work either.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be grateful to hear them =]

uninstall with Revo Uninstaller

I checked the Revo Uninstaller, there is no WoW Icon, and I can still get onto the "Enter Username and Password" screen. There are no WoW files anywhere to be found.

I really don't know what to do =[

Bump.

I really need this resolved. =]

Bump.

I think i might have installed an American patch onto the EU version of WoW, is there any way to De-Patch the game?

No, you can't reverse a patch.
If Revo doesn't work then you'll need to go through and find and manually delete all the files from the computer. I'm quite sure WoW doesn't create any registry entries so you shouldn't have to worry about those.

It should be in this folder or something similar

C:\Program Files\Blizzard\World of Warcraft\

just delete WoW and you should be fine.

I've never seen anything like this before.

In ProgramFiles there is no Blizzard folder and only an empty WoW folder, when I search World of Warcraft it comes up with "World of WarCraft Shortcut" and a file called "log"

When I search Blizzard it comes up with a file called "cache"

Both "cache" and "log" are just a load of Coding. When I right click the WoW shortcut and open file location it takes me to "Games" with Solitaire and Minesweeper etc etc. I'll keep searching for related files but if anyone else has any suggestions I'd be grateful to hear them =]

Delete the empty wow folder, and re install it.

Lorcan86 · 06-01-2009, 09:59 AM

Tried twice, and failed twice.

This is unlike anything I have ever seen before.
